66 million SEK from the Swedish Research Council to UCMR-researchers
NEWS
Research leaders within the Umeå Center of Microbial Research, UCMR, at Umeå University are well ahead in this year's call from the Swedish Research Council and are granted a total of nearly 66 million for 14 projects. That is significantly more than last year.
The money is divided among six projects within the Swedish Research Council's allocation for research into natural and technical sciences and eight projects within the Swedish Research Council's allocation for research into medicine and health. The money is allocated over a four-year period.
The Swedish Research Council's award for research on natural and technical sciences:
Magnus Andersson, Determination of regulatory mechanisms within active membrane transport, 4 million Marta Bally, Glycan hopscotch: exploring how adenovirus zigzags its way into the cell, 4.1 million Changchun Chen, Dissecting molecular mechanisms underlying hypoxia-triggered responses, 3.84 million Christian Hedberg, Investigation of phosphorylating, ADP-ribosylating and glycosylating bacterial toxins substrate specificity via reactive protein-proteome profiling, RP3, 4.2 million Johan Henriksson, Improving pancreatic cancer detection by measuring telomere length at the single-cell level, 4 million Peter Lind, The effects of salt-induced cell clustering on the eco-evolutionary dynamics of bacteria, 4.16 million
The Swedish Research Council's award for research on medicine and health:
